Customer Review: Mixed feelings about what should have been a great item
I’m sure I don’t yet have a complete grasp of this machine, but that fact itself, given that it is far from my first multifunction office machine OR my first laser, and I’ve had it for a couple of months, shows that perhaps it’s not as easy to get used to as it could be. I love the auto duplexing, the large scanning bed, and the speed of printing. I like the way it goes to sleep between jobs and wakes up so quickly.
I don’t like the way I couldn’t get the fax functions to work (but fortunately that part of our old multifunction machine still works). I don’t like the fact that I can’t figure out how to cancel a print job — I am currently sitting here with a blinking red light due to accidentally trying to print an A4 document, and despite searching in the Help screens and trying a few guesses, I’m still pretty much stuck.
If it were a color laser, I’d forgive it some crankiness, and the price tag, but it’s only monochrome, so I’m not too thrilled. But there just didn’t seem to be a lot of choices for that larger glass bed! There has got to be a simple Cancel button somewhere, hasn’t there?
Customer Review: Mac users should avoid this
Looks like Canon has enough money, or hasn’t read sales statistics over the last few years. They do not provide drivers for the scanner portion of this unit for Macs, nor will it work, they claim, over a network. This is a decision made at corporate headquarters in Japan, and the locals at Canon USA are apologetic but powerless.
What kind of clueless corporate fool of this size isn’t willing to invest a few grand in a competent Mac programmer to write the necessary drivers? After all, they have done it for their inkjets, which have a better reputation than Epson in the Mac community. How hard can it be to port them over to their laser/network models?
If you have any Macs in your network and need a printer, you’re better off looking elsewhere.
